D&D 5E Tiamat?
Neat! I was somewhat concerned they downpowered her for a "balanced" final boss- it's good to know that, if the party fails to avert her return, they're as good as dead
Unlikely to happen. The players want their hack & slash and a lot would likely feel betrayed when they can't stomp her at the end of the adventure.
Tarrasque CR30 or real CR30 with an railroad way to defeat her anyway?

The Tarrasque is a real CR 30. Also I recently learned that the stats for Tiamat are just in case she is summoned in the end. If she is there is apparently little to no chance of the party winning. Anyway I don't know how it works as I have not seen the statblock.
Anyway thalmin can you give any other details about Tiamat.

Sorry, but I dare not. I am not DMing right now, and am currently playing Tyranny of Dragons, so I don't want to see too much of the statblock.
edit: But I did do a followup in post #11

Think of it like a greater demon who is only banished for a while.
Which is a demoting comparison for a true deity. I just hoped that if they went for statting deities they would do them justice.
Someone above wrote he is glad they did not depower her. I disagree, being set on the same level as the tarrasque is depowering to a deity.
When the playtest had asmodeus at the same CR than an ordinary pitfiend there was much discussion. When asmodeus did not appear in the MM i hoped they reconsidered, now i see that they obviously did not

How so the Terrasque is supposed to be a massive near unbeatable monster that gods would fear.
